Love and the Sunset

Love and the Sunset

by edgie polistico

Tired of rolling

in unfathomable heaven

Behind the curls

of white blue and gray

Blinding the world

and the shadow creeps

Weary eyes of the sun

late wishes as it sleeps

Wind rumbles the palms

murmuring song it has sung

And sweet melody it brings

while you’re still in my arms

Time passses time

wave chases waves

One thing for sure

these will never change

Sights are fading

fading is the day

Footsteps drawn

drown on the bay

Holding hands tight

weak hearts fight

Kisses of heaven

we both have given

So it’s getting dark

afraid now to swim

Because of lurking sharks

that may to us dine

We better play

a game discreetly today

No shadow – no show

the world at us cannot see

Cold wind brushes our skin

hot blood flushes shield us well

Measuring the depth of yours

and the length of mine we will

We determine the gap

of heaven and earth

That only horizon

divides and ends
